A Maths equipment question.

fivetwenty

I have this small piece of laminated paper, with the maths tables p9 on one side, p41 the other (In other words, the two most common pages).

Now I have used this for homework etc. for the last two years as I find it brilliantly useful. . . . I sit right in front of my examiner and he's a maths teacher, he seems easy-going and I get the feeling that he thinks I'm alright as he appreciates people doing higher maths.

Do you think if I ask him at the start, that I'll be allowed to use it? It's perfectly legit as far as I'm concerned. No external writing on it, just the two pages, back to front. All it does is save time.

No, I really don't think he'd let you use it. You can't use anything like that which hasn't been pre-approved.
Besides, turning from Page 9 to Page 41 in the log tables is hardly a time-consuming process.

It is for me! Especially compared to what it could be, it's just in P2 on Monday I could be flicking over and back fifty times.

I think it probably depends on the examiner you have, if it's one of those rigid types then he probably won't allow it.

I don't think he's going to risk getting skinned by an inspector just so you don't have to turn to pg 41 for the little bit of calculus on paper 2.

Most examiners are sound so he'll probably let you use it.....

if not, Just ask for 2 sets of log tables!

Is there anything written on the laminated piece of paper? If not I'd say go for it and ask.

Nope, just the two pages, and obviously nothing can be written on the laminated part!

I'm thinking the fact that he is a maths teacher, genuinely likes to see higher maths students (When giving out P1 he was saying "This will look great on your CV" to the whole room - there are only 6 of us doing it!). He always lets us go 10mins overtime in any test if we need. He's sound I think.

Use a paper clip.

Go up and talk to him before the exam tomorrow.

I improvised and used the clips on my spare pens

No! Didn't you get the little pink book full of the rules?
